WAIT, MICHAEL BAY MADE THE ‘AARON BURR’ AD?

This isn’t news in the sense that it’s new, it’s more like holy-crap-how-come-I-never-knew-that news, if that makes any sense. Anyway, remember the “Aaron Burr” ad from 1993? The first Got Milk spot, the one that launched the most pervasive, most oft and annoyingly copied ad campaign in recent memory? Yup, that was a Michael Bay commercial. I’m not sure how to feel now that I know that. On the one hand, you can’t deny that it’s a really solid, perfectly-executed commercial. But on the other, does this mean we have Bay to blame for an annoying, un-clever slogan that refuses to die after 16 years and can be applied to any product with a sufficiently hacky marketing department? One thing is for certain: definitely could’ve used more tigers.

Does everybody have to await moderation now? I must’ve missed it whenever Pauly or Devo posted kiddie porn.

In the original cut of the commercial, the guy was spreading C-4 on his toast.

If you had to await moderation, you must have done something absolutely horrendous in a former life. Nobody posted kiddie anything, so don’t go and say something silly unless you want to await further moderation.

Sorry, been visiting /b/ too much, has kind of blurred the lines on what taboo subjects I can joke about and where. I think the moderation is because I posted a link, it’s all good.

By Kahless’ Beard, The Mighty Feklahr should have known this 4 years ago but must have actually had to work that day and missed this tidbit of info and didn’t find out until the latest Frotcast??? FUCK MARLENE!!!
